Variceal band ligation is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to treat enlarged veins, known as varices, in the esophagus that may develop due to increased pressure in the portal vein. These varices can sometimes bleed heavily and require timely medical management. At Sri Swastha ENT and Gastro Liver Clinic, we provide specialized evaluation and endoscopic treatment for suitable patients.
During the procedure, a flexible endoscope is used to carefully identify the affected varices. Small elastic bands are then placed around the enlarged veins to stop or prevent bleeding. The procedure is performed by experienced gastroenterology specialists using appropriate endoscopic techniques, with patient safety and comfort as key priorities.
